Let speed of car-A = x km/hr and speed of another car-B = (x+7) km/hr
 
after 2 hours, distance travelled by car-A = 2x km
after 2 hours, distance travelled by car-B = 2(x+7) = (2x+14)  km
 
distance between the two cars after  2 hour = 300 -2x -(2x+14) = 34 km  .........(1)
 
Eqn.(1) is written as ;  4x = 252    or   x = 63 km/hr
 
Hence speed of cars, 63 km/hr and 70 km/hr
